High Performance Backup

Bare Metal Backup and Restore (BMR) with P2V

Asservo’s BMR capabilities provide you the complete solution to efficiently do point in time restores of entire machines. Asservo supports image backup of specific volumes or entire disk. The backup image (VHD)or(VMDK) can be instantaneously booted up as a Hyper-V/VM virtual machine.

Backs up changed blocks alone

Asservo’s Intelli-Delta technology makes sure that only changed blocks of the modified files are backed up during incremental backups.

Backup open files

Asservo uses Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to create a snapshot of files before backing up. Asservo can therefore even backup files that are open by other applications. Also using the VSS service, Asservo ensures that the files are in consistent state during backup.

Application Disaster Recovery

Exchange Server Backup

Backup Exchange Servers 2010, 2007, 2003 and 2000 without impacting the live server. Backup all the data of a particular user (mailbox) or backup just a folder (like for example the inbox of an user) or backup a sub-folder from an Exchange Server.

Easy and Instant Restores

Instant restore by booting up as a virtual machine (P2V)

Asservo Disk image backups are in VHD format by default and therefore can be quickly booted up as a virtual machine in a Hyper-V server. The VHD based backups can also be converted into VMware file format (VMDK) and booted up as virtual machines in VMware ESX servers.

Secure Restores

Data arrives at the agent machine (machine to which data has to be restored) in encrypted format keeping it secure during transit from the remote backup server. Restore jobs have to be first authenticated at the backup server and the encryption password has to be provided before the restore can initiate.

Resume from where it left off

Restore jobs initiated to an offsite backup server could sometimes take a longer time to complete depending upon the available network bandwidth and data size. Asservo can resume restore from exactly where if left off in case the restore job gets interrupted due to, say network failure.

Exporting backup data

Backup data can be exported to an external disk, keeping the data in encrypted and compressed format. The disk can then be shipped to the customer site where data is imported and restored into the machine that is to be recovered.

Restoring to an alternate machine

Asservo client can restore its data to a different machine running another instance of StoreGrid client. This is helpful when the machine that is being restored doesn’t have enough disk space yet for the restored data.

Complete Protection for Your Virtual Environment

Backing up VMware ESX Servers

Asservo uses VMware’s APIs to backup virtual machines (VMs) running on ESX and ESXi Servers. A single installation of Asservo client can backup VMs running on multiple ESX/ESXi servers. Asservo client can also connect to vCenter Server to backup all the VMs that the vCenter server manages.

Xen and KVM

The Asservo Plug-in for Xen and KVM allows user to protect virtual machines and application data within Xen and KVM virtual environments.

Backing up Hyper-V Servers

Asservo installed in the Hyper-V Host Server can backup the VMs running on it. Asservo uses Microsoft VSS to make sure the VMs are in a consistent state before backing up. Asservo backs up only the changed data in the VMs during incremental backup.

cPanel Backup

Our Software offers an interface in the cPanel Management Console for domain users to self manage their restores. Also supported is granular file level restore of domains.
